Watching paint dry

So looking back at my last post, what I have accomplished in two months and a week is the following:

Ultramarines

• 1 x Predator
• Lasplas Razorback turret
• Tactical squad (10)

Dark Eldar

• Reaver jetbikes (1/3)

Tau

• XV-8 Crisis Suit w/ drones

Not bad, eh? This is just what is finished, there has been some other WIP as well. 

State of affairs

So this post is something of a status update and a to-do list for my painting. Maybe not as interesting for you guys out there as it is for me; sorry for being egoistic here. But I think it will be interesting to look back at this post and see how things actually turned out.

Dark Eldar take a bit more time to do since I hold my self to a higher standard for my second painted army, and also I decided to base each model when painting and not wait with that until later, since later never comes...

Edit: when writing this list I am quite pleased with the progress, and I actually feel more motivated to attack the "ongoing" projects! Great stuff.

Blogs are all the rage

Apparently. At least in the miniatures painting community. The question "do you have a blog?" seems to pop up every now and then, which gives me an opportunity to use the subtitle "by popular demand" for this blog. :)

Being new to the 40k hobby I selected Ultramarines as my army of choice. Partly because of the AoBR box, and partly because I really like the aesthetics of the chapter. Which seems like a reason as good as any for choosing an army, especially if one aims to paint the entire thing.

So, look forward to some WIPs and step-by-steps as I move along and learn more!
